A legacy carved by many empires
The Ranthambore Fort is a grand stage where the tales of empires come to life! It is a fortress born in the 10th century, under the watchful eyes of the Chauhan Dynasty's King Sapaldaksha. In the year 1192, the Ghirudi Empire swooped in like falcons in the sky, conquering the fort and leaving behind their own legacy.
As you wander through this historical labyrinth, you’ll encounter symbols and architectural flourishes from various dynasties, including the magnificent Mughals, each carving their mark into this storied fortress. Now, fast forward to 2013 – the global spotlight shone on this majestic fort as it earned its place as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, joining the illustrious Hill Forts of Rajasthan.
But the allure of the fort doesn’t end there! It’s also a fantastic spot for bird watching home to a stunning array of bird species. You might even spot playful langurs, occasional small cats, and if you’re lucky, the elusive fishing cat lurking near the water.
